There may not be any hotel in China that exhibit so many artworks in a hotel like the recently-opened Shanghai Onehome How Art Hotel in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang area. The 55,000-square-metered hotel has 319 art rooms, 4 art restaurants in different styles, 20 suites paying respects to Andy Warhol, Picasso, Klimt, Dali and other master artists, and more than 500 artworks by 121 well-known artists such as Damien Hirst, Yayoi Kusama and Zhang Xiaogang. The interior design of the hotel integrates mountain, cloud, wind, wood and other Chinese traditional natural elements to highlight the traditional Chinese art tastes.
In the hotel library, about 1,000 books on art and design are available for reading, and visitors can also take their favorite books home. According to Zheng Hao, chairman of Onehome Holding Group and well-known Chinese art collector, an art hotel should not only simply combine the artworks and the hotel, but also highly integrate the art and the traditional hotel entity. With art, delicacies and feelings mixed together, the guests staying in the hotel will be able to satisfy their appetite while appreciating the artworks.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
